Rugby Utah’s Men’s Premier Division’s Best March into Select XV Camp

With the announcement of Rugby Utah’s Select XV coaching staff, it was inevitable that the best of Rugby Utah’s local talent would get a call up to be part of the building up of a successful program. This build up was lead up by last fall’s successful launch of the MPD(Men’s Premier Division) and ‘Iosepa Shield’, in which 5 of Utah’s top senior men’s teams competed.

The preparations for camp began with an initial combine which gave the coaching staff a preview of the talent and skill set they would take into camp. The high level of competitiveness made the selection process a tough one to narrow things to a list of select players. As a result of the combine, the coaching staff were able to make the necessary selections to take into camp in preparation for this Saturday’s (March 11th, 2017) match against the Raptors in Glendale Colorado.

Selected for camp and representing Park City Haggis, Utah Brothers, Salt Lake Spartans, Salt Lake City Gladiators , West Valley Lions and players from Rugby Utah’s NDA 7s program are the following standouts.

Rugby Utah’s Select XV’s first match in the MRC(Major Rugby Championship) this year will be in Glendale Colorado against the Raptors this Saturday March, 11 2017. Head coach Blake Burdette will be announcing his roster for this weekend on Friday, March 10, 2017.
